EVERYTHING YOU SEE, HEAR OR BELIEVE IS A LIE. THEY'VE BEEN LYING TO YOU. ALL OF THEM. Tamsin and Lark Starling are sister and brother, orphaned when they were young; their parents died fighting in the elite military group known as the Sparrowhawks, a group which ensures the safety and well being of the community they live in and the social structure of their world and most importantly: tracking and hunting down rebel groups which could threaten the government's perfect system. Groups like: The Crossbones. Led by a notoriously elusive rebel known as the Black Skeleton, Tamsin and Lark have heard all their lives of how dangerous The Crossbones are and how much of a threat they pose, though they have always secretly held the hope that they would be the ones to defeat this seemingly unbeatable foe and vanquish the group forever to bring glory to their names. When the Starling siblings are finally accepted into the honorable ranks of the Sparrowhawks they are both eager to begin the hunt that their parents partook in and to finish the unfinished business once and for all in their memory. However, when their mission turns abruptly into disaster, Tamsin and Lark are thrown headfirst into the explosive world of the Crossbones and into the hands of the infamous Black Skeleton. But as the Starling's dive deeper into the lives of those within the Crossbones they begin to realize that their intentions are quite different to what they first expected and that they are not at all how they were described. Tamsin and Lark begin to find out things which if proved true, could change the very world they live in forever.

    Amelia's been on the streets since she can remember. She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined. She finds someone so broken under that cold exterior that she can't help but want to help him. They get thrown into a world of witches, wizards and magic and evil. They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil. Along the way, they recruit five other individuals each experienced in a different area of magic. Who will love and who will hate? Who will even live to tell the tale? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first draft, I've edited it along the way but the more I revisit and edit the better it wil get.

    Luna's secret (The Alpha's Plaything)
    Luna had always been the odd one out in her pack. While others gushed about mates and romance, she preferred the company of nature, basking in the moon's energy, and dreaming of becoming a healer who traveled the world. But fate had other plans. One fateful night, while she was deep in the forest on one of her usual explorations, her pack was ambushed by a powerful rogue army. By the time she returned, everything was in ruins her home, her family, her entire world reduced to ashes. Homeless, orphaned, and drowning in guilt for not being there to fight alongside them, Luna made a drastic choice. Ignoring her wolf's desperate protests, she brewed a deadly potion laced with wolfsbane and drank it in one go. But instead of finding peace, she woke up to a nightmare alive, but without her wolf spirit. The once-promising healer had become a broken enigma, a wolf without a wolf. Desperate to survive and seek revenge, she hid her identity and joined the Golden Moon Pack as an omega, determined to stay under the radar. That plan lasted about five minutes because, as luck (or fate) would have it, she caught the attention of Alpha Marcus the pack's powerful, brooding, and utterly ruthless leader. As threats from rogue wolves and hidden enemies close in, Marcus and Luna are forced to work together. Sparks fly, tensions rise, and their bond grows stronger with each passing day.

Her eyes widened at the necklace with an infinity symbol in crested with small little diamonds. "How you even afford this kari?" She questioned, unable to take her eyes off of it. "Shit, my savings." He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?" He stood behind her and she moved her hair out of the way as he put it around her neck and clipped it back together. Her hand immediately went to it. "I'm never gone take it off."
